8:20 Annabel Langbein and daughter Rose share a Mother’s Day Recipe 

It’s not too late to bake something for mum on Mother's Day or to bake something to remember a mother who’s not around.  

Mother and daughter, Annabel & Rose Langbein are two of our most-loved cooks and celebrated food writers. 

The family home is in Wanaka but Rose these days lives in Portugal. We reunite mother and daughter for Mother’s Day and they share their perfect Mother’s Day recipe for Pear, Nutmeg and Walnut Cake. 

You can find Annabel & Rose’s newsletter here.

9:00 Mediawatch 

Mediawatch this week talks to an American publisher running the rule over our news for reliability - and using journalists to train AI innovations like Chat GPT to stem the spread of unreliable news. Also - how the media reacted to yet another weather emergency in the North this week – and criticism of rugby on TV that made headlines this week.

10:30 Emma Smith: Does book banning have the opposite effect? 

The works of Roald Dahl have been put through a sanitising process recently, as have the James Bond books, and famous novels by Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad. Nowadays we call book burning or book sanitising ‘expurgation’.   

One woman who knows all about banned books, and the attention they inadvertently draw, is Dr Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare studies at Oxford University. She’s the author of Portable Magic: A History of Books and Their Readers.

11:05 Julie Robinson: Was Andy Warhol the original influencer? 

Was the artist Andy Warhol the first influencer of our age? That's the premise of 'Andy Warhol & Photography: A Social Media' at the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Andy Warhol is now regarded as one of the most eminent artists of the 20th century.  His 1964 silk screen portrait of Marilyn Monroe, entitled 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn', last year became the most expensive piece of 20th-century art ever sold at auction, fetching US$195m. 

The Gallery already owns 45 Warhol pieces, and this exhibition adds another 250 works, including experimental films, silkscreens and paintings. But his photography is front and centre.
